What is the underlying philosophical paradigm of the Gestalt theory?

/in /by

1. Describe the connection between theory and relevant research
What is the underlying philosophical paradigm of the Gestalt theory?
Why do you think this is the philosophical paradigm underlying this theory?
2. Identify the assumptions of a selected epistemological paradigm
Link the major assumptions of the Gestalt theory to the ontological, axiological, and methodological assumptions of the epistemological paradigm.
3. Analyze how research methods in social sciences align with theories.
Identify and describe what research studies have been used to test the Gestalt theory. In other words, what research studies have been conducted using the Gestalt theory?
4. Apply the assumptions of an epistemological paradigm to quantitative and qualitative research methods
What research methods did these research studies use to test the Gestalt theory. ( Hint: The epistemological paradigm that guides the Gestalt theory should be aligned with the methodological assumption of the epistemological paradigm.)
4. Discuss the scope of practice theory and its appropriateness for theory building and validation. How accurate is the theory in explaining the phenomenon?

Are both batting average and earned-run average associated with winning percentage? Which, would you say, is more strongly associated with it? Why?

/in /by

This exercise gives you the chance to examine an age old social science dispute: whether hitting or pitching wins ball games. Help shed light on this dispute by, again, turning to a recent almanac, this time to collect winning percentages, team batting averages, and team earned-run averages for all the teams in either the American or the National League for one year. Use data collection techniques similar to those you used for the last two exercises, this time collecting data on three variables, rather than two. Moreover,you should use the data analysis technique so for exercise, this time examining the relationship between winning percentage and team batting average, on the one hand, and winning percentage and team earned-run average, on the other. Are both batting average and earned-run average associated with winning percentage? Which, would you say, is more strongly associated with it? Why? Write a brief essay in which you state how your analysis bears on this research question.

What relevance do you believe Gilgamesh has for humans today? Do you think this epic served a purpose in Mesopotamian cultures from the perspective of Dr Harari’s argument of shared fiction/imagined order, and if so, how?

What relevance do you believe Gilgamesh has for humans today? Do you think this epic served a purpose in Mesopotamian cultures from the perspective of Dr Harari’s argument of shared fiction/imagined order, and if so, how? What questions do you have about the epic?

Although Sapiens is not officially part of your subsequent reading, we will refer back to the concepts discussed by Dr Harari throughout this course. To recap a few of the principles, we have read:

That the truly unique feature of Homo sapiens’ language is the ability to transmit information about things that do not exist and the ability to speak about fiction.* That the approach that views cultures as infecting human hosts and living on even after death is called memetics (in the humanities, post-modernism; in the social sciences, game theory).That the ability to transmit information about things such as tribal spirits, nations, limited liability companies, and human rights allows for cooperation between very large numbers of strangers and rapid innovation of social behavior.
That the imagined order is inter-subjective, embedded in the material world, and shapes our desires, therefore we are convinced that our particular order is not imagined.That the three universal orders are economic, imperial, and religious. As you read through the summaries of Mesopotamia, Africa & Egypt, and the Hebrews, the concepts listed above should start to make sense beyond the theoretical/philosophical.
